Origin/meaning
The angel wings and roses are taken from the arms of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The mystical rose is symbolic of the Blessed Virgin. Conjoined with the angel wings, the entire symbol represents Our Lady of the Angels. The title is reflective of the Arch diocese of Los Angeles, and of the pastoral region of the Archdiocese to which Bishop Clark has been assigned, Our Lady of the Angels.
The silver and blue of the shield and chevron replicate the colors of Saint John's Seminary and Saint John's Seminary College, institutions which Bishop Clark attended as a student and at which he served as a faculty member and as an administrator for eleven years.
Above the chevron are a green leaf and a purple fleur-de-lis, representative of the heritage that has come to the Bishop from his parents William Leo Clark and Julia Goschey Clark These symbols are found in the arms of families with a similar name, the green leaf of the Clarke/Cleary family of Ireland and the fleur-de-lis of the Gauchey family of French descent.
Below the chevron is a blue eagle with a gold halo, holding the Book of the Gospels in its right claw. This is the particular representation of the eagle of Saint John the Evangelist, patron of the seminaries of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. At the time of his selection for the episcopacy, Bishop Clark was serving as the President and Rector of Saint John's Seminary College.
The motto "THE GIFT RECEIVED GIVE AS A GIFT" is taken from the Gospel of Saint Matthew (Mt 10, 8), and refers to the totality of charisms or individual divine gifts given by the Holy Spirit to the members of the Church.
